Hi, my Flare 2 just arrived, on your point on the latency for videos... I updated the speakers software through the Soundcore app and I'm having NO troubles watching videos... Also tested it! 👍🏼
Great video dude. I didn't realize there was no auxiliary port on the flare 2. With the price points I would not expect the sound quality of the flare 2 to be that of the pulse but it is pretty good.
Interesting that you chose the Pulse 4, with a msrp of $250, to compare to the $80 Flare 2. I think I good comparison would have been against the Tribit Stormbox or Earfun Uboom.
I was thinking the same thing lol huge price difference so obviously its going to sound better 😐 i bet if it was against a jbl speaker with a similar price the flare 2 wins no question
I have the flare 2 and I love it and have no issues with it. Works well on everything including Netflix. I paid about $76 for it. I believe it depends where you buy it at.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Julio Zayd Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Good Review, but in my opinion the Anker Flare 2 is way better, not mentioning way better in price for it's on sale now for $59 i Got mine for $69. Pulse 4 is Mono and Flare 2 is Stereo, when i listen to Queens Bohemian Rhapsody you can here the separation the exchange of left and right channel vocals ( Just Face the Flare 2 in front of you with the soundcore logo in the middle ofcourse.) Pulse 4 is Mono, no separation, i have both of them and i love both of them, i like the Pulse 4 for the Light Displays but i like the Sounds coming from Flare 2.
Flare 2 is louder than soundcore 2 but i advise you to get the app. Drop the low mid and boost the upper mids a lot and almost as much with the last 2 treble slides
Just got one it sounds amazing for the price I know JBL IS KING but the cost are much higher now the Flare plus has tweeters bigger and greater sound. SOUNDCORE is headed in the right direction.
I have a dindinmodern brand speaker. I use it at picnics when I travel in my RV. Small size but big sound. I really like it and deserves my recommendation.
Nice one mate. The lack of audio input and latency issue at the same time it's unacceptable in 2021. Thank you so much, that's save my money as I changed my mind and I won't buy any of those speakers. Thumb up 💯👍🏻

Hello. Thank you for your review. I would like to ask, how is the "soundstage" on the Flare 2? I mean I understand that it is a mono speaker, but can you perceive a wide sound projections and directions? I am about to buy one, but I am having second thoughts because the Bose Soundlink Mini II has an excellent perceivable wide soundstage. Hoping to hear from you.
I just bought the Soundcore Flare2 and I love it feels lighter and I can carry the Two Speakers anywhere Also the Soundcore App makes them more Enjoyable with all the Features and waterproof OMG
so i just ceme from a nearby mall and saw these 2 speakers and was wondering which i should get since the price discrepancy is quite significant....thank you for this comparison... i was wondering why they never allow playback through the usb connections, oh well..
Hey bro, do you have any review or soundbattle of the Anker "Soundcore Motion Plus"? I've seen many good comments 'bout this speaker but as usual your oppinion and reviews are always wellcome! Greetings from México!
You started making the comment about the latency on the audio with video and I'm not having that same experience it's perfectly fine as I am listening to it right now watching your video I am also using a Galaxy s20 ultra I don't know if phones are making the difference
I have been using Soundcore Flare 2 for 1 year. I connected it to my iphone, pc and apple tv, I have never seen a LATENCY. so your latency comment is not true.
Sam's Club has a 2 pack of the flare 2 I bought for about $100. They sound amazing. Better than their icon+ which I have. Soundcore is making big waves in speakers and earbuds. I have a pair of life p3 and they sound great. They made their name in the charging category and continue into the speaker and earbud realm.
I have a sony srs-xb32 and I noticed that with some songs it distorts the bass and in other songs I hear the "wavy" vowel instead. Can anyone give me explanations? What if someone has the sony srs-xb32 like me, does it have the same problems as me?
Hey your reviews are great! That’s why I would like to ask you for some advice. I was looking at these speakers and I hoped you could tell me which one has the best overall sound quality and for indoor and outdoor purposes (i like to hike and sit outside) EU Wonderboom 2 (around 60 euro) Tribit Stormbox (around 60 euro) Tribit Maxsound plus (around 55 euro) Anker Soundcore Flare 2 (around 80 euro) JBL flip 5 (around 85 euro, although I understood the flip 4 is actually a better choice it’s also much more expensive here). Anker Soundcore motion+ So here’s the thing: I could go with something like the Anker Soundcore motion+ or a JBL flip, but sometimes there’s this deal in which I could get a pair of Stormboxes or Wonderbooms 2 for around the same price. I just can’t chose!! P.s. I don’t like hardcore/hardstyle music but I do like good voices, classical music, pop, rock, jazz, soul, dance, funky, even volk music etc. so I have quite a diverse taste of music I like. Would you please help me out here?
well i own a srs xb41 and i am pretty happy with it, you just need an equalizer to adjust the treble, but if u already own a 32 and dont care about carrying 2 speakers, go for another 32 and use them together in stero, thats way better than a 41 Edit: he actually has a vid on that topic, where he compares 1*the 41 and 2* the 32
so frustrated, this is what's stopping me from buying LED speaker, just give us Aptx LL or APTX Adaptive codec first before you start taking away the most important feature! 3.5 jack!!
@@Yt_ShadowBannedme then buy new headphones cause even he says the pulse has more bass but you get more for the money with the souncore but the pulse is better in evrey category but its overpriced
dont buy this specific model flare2 the base is distorted like vibrating plastic sound i bought it to match my flip5 in a low price expecting same performance but im fucked up
That was probably the best test and comparaison ever . You went through all the details about them
I bought 2 Flare 2, and they pair together and the audio is just amazing.
i might buy another flare 2, i already have one and i love it
Interesting, in some cases the Pulse 4 sounds better, and in others the Flare 2 sounds better. For only $79.99 the Flare 2 wins imo.
Hi, my Flare 2 just arrived, on your point on the latency for videos... I updated the speakers software through the Soundcore app and I'm having NO troubles watching videos... Also tested it! 👍🏼
You mean after update thers no latency ???
I did the same and I have no latency at all. great speaker.
Thank you (and Kevin) for mentioning there's no latency after an update!
Great video dude. I didn't realize there was no auxiliary port on the flare 2. With the price points I would not expect the sound quality of the flare 2 to be that of the pulse but it is pretty good.

Right!!
With a laptop most audio players allow you to compensate for audio latency. Many allow playing TH-cam as well.
we have to wait for the Flare 2+
You are right. I have the flare+ ,a bit disapointed and the flare 2 which i like better. But lest face it, the motion + is above
@@jcdupuy4809 How does the sound compare between the Flare+ and Flare 2?
Just got one it sounds amazing for the price I know JBL IS KING but the cost are much higher now the Flare plus has tweeters bigger and greater sound. SOUNDCORE is headed in the right direction.
I'd rather buy 2 of flare 2 and make them stereo than buying jbl
Exactly!!!
Anker have stereo
listening to this on my flare 2, but the latency sounds fine.
Maybe they fixed it
Excellent video, thanks for the info!
thank you for the information about the sound latency brother, that helped too much
I find the sound core flare 2 up against the wall sound killer
I guess It has been solved by a firmware update. I do have flare 2 and there isn’t latency issue anymore.
Well done! Another very good review. Very helpful. Thank you very much.

It looks like a ue boom 🤔?
bruh its elementary math...dude like pluses and minuses...I get it....calculus sucks

Latency on mine is fine, mite have done a firmware update in there, somewhere.
Awesome review. You rock
To me pulse 4 sounds better at 60% whereas the flare 2 sounds better at 100%
Great review!
I LOVE HOW YOU DID THIS!!!

Love to see how this will do against the wonderboom 2
Would you recommend Soundcore Flare 2 or UE Boom 2 ?
JBL has a wider sound stage, sounded like there is more space for all frequencies at loud volumes
Sooooooooo the cheaper speaker sounds better?
Yep. Besides the Bass at 100%
Please the Anker Flare 2 vs Zealot S67 which one has better sound quality and bass?
Great review.

Hello,
What do you think about Anker Flare 2 ( currently priced $69) vs Anker Flare Plus ( Currently priced $99). Thank you.
Which is better soundcore flare 2 or tronsmart element t6
Try element force+ instead, more power and rugged.
Flare 2
The Flare sounds so much better. If only it had a longer battery life.
Battery life is 12 hours 😗 it actually outperforms the pulse and the charge 4 .
I have been using Soundcore Flare 2 for 1 year. I connected it to my iphone, pc and apple tv, I have never seen a LATENCY. so your latency comment is not true.
ill go for the flare 2👌🏼...the lights look awesome💥
hiw does it compare with the boom3?🤔
I actually haven't put the 2 nest to each other but i can guarantee you the flare 2 has better bass 🤷♂️
Sam's Club has a 2 pack of the flare 2 I bought for about $100. They sound amazing. Better than their icon+ which I have. Soundcore is making big waves in speakers and earbuds. I have a pair of life p3 and they sound great. They made their name in the charging category and continue into the speaker and earbud realm.
Great review. Have you used the custom eq??
Besides by upgrading firmware the latency is much improved
I've tested it, but i don't use EQs when recording the soundbattles
the flare 2 has more vibrant lighting than the jbl, and that's very noticeable
Ultimate ears hyperboom... Can we see a review of this? Everyone is saying it sounds better than the boombox series.. want to know for sure
Hyperboom is much bether then boombox i tested both and now i have the thyperboom and im very happy with it
Why no Aptx?
It would help or completely solve the latency problem, at least it's much much lower than SBC, and lower than AAC
Fabric body ? Love it !
How do you compare a $50 (Anker) speaker to a $199 (JBL) speaker?? I dont get it.
Soundcore is not $50
Good comparison
Because it's fun and he felt like it
Well, to be fair the JBL is a $250 dollar speaker, and the Flare 2 is a $70 dollar speaker.
I have a sony srs-xb32 and I noticed that with some songs it distorts the bass and in other songs I hear the "wavy" vowel instead. Can anyone give me explanations? What if someone has the sony srs-xb32 like me, does it have the same problems as me?

Plz make a video between anker soundcore motion plus vs jbl extreme2
Is flare 2 good for outside????
There's no where i can get the flare 2 that has a rope hand?
In as much as I wanted anker to win, JBL is came out better
buying a speaker is so hard when your developed under the conditions of trauma. ugh.
How can I tell when the battery is getting low? How can I tell if it is fully charged?
Nice question
When the battery low, light bass up is blink, and when if fully charged, light bass up is on
Not too too much different,in my opinion
Where can I find the songs you use in the tests?
I know this but I can't find the complete songs on youtube or on Spotify
I buy most of my songs from premiumbeat.com
so frustrated, this is what's stopping me from buying LED speaker, just give us Aptx LL or APTX Adaptive codec first before you start taking away the most important feature! 3.5 jack!!
